"Although it's a little inappropriate, it's so late, so I have no choice but to take her in."

The girl rested her hands on the table with her chin supported, her big watery eyes fixed on Jiang Leyao's reaction, she was very amused.

"It just so happened that I hadn't been home for a long time, and I missed my mother, so I took the prince to burn some incense for her and stayed overnight in the Plum Garden."

After listening to Jiang Li's explanation, not only Jiang Leyao breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Pingsheng also relaxed his frown.

His cloudy yet clear eyes looked at Jiang Leyao, and the girl's reaction after being rescued was full of doubts. He knew very well that his little daughter was definitely not a good person under Shen Ping's influence, so Lili must have swallowed her grievances and made excuses for her just now!

Jiang Pingsheng clenched his chopsticks, then put some more dishes into the girl's bowl, his eyes full of heartache.

He didn't want Lili to be tolerant of others all the time. Sometimes she would be a little bit arrogant and domineering, so that she would consider herself more. Even if she caused trouble, it didn't matter. Who would dare to touch his daughter, Jiang Pingsheng!

Since Shen Ping and Jiang Leyao both noticed Jiang Pingsheng's dissatisfaction with them, the meal was particularly quiet.

Jiang Li touched her belly contentedly, and her almond-shaped eyes narrowed comfortably.

If that bastard hadn't been touching her under the table, she might have enjoyed her meal more.

……

After dinner,

Shen Ping and Jiang Leyao left the main hall in shame.

They had a premonition that Jiang Pingsheng would definitely ask Jiang Leyao what happened last night. How could she dare to tell him? So she could only disappear from his sight and wait for him to forget about it.

Jiang Li smiled, the corners of her beautiful eyes turned up, and there was a gleam of light in her black pupils, making her look smart and cute.

This little fox has no good intentions...

Li Jinyuan curled the corners of his lips lovingly, placed his big palm on the top of the girl's head and rubbed it gently, just like he was stroking a furry little animal.

The little girl looked up at him and then threw herself into his arms.

The man was a little surprised. After all, she had never been so proactive before.

Jiang Li pursed her lips and smiled shyly, but through her almond-shaped eyes that could not hide anything, Li Jinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The little fox rubbed her cheek against the man's chest in a flattering manner. When asking someone for help, of course she had to make a small sacrifice of herself...

Li Jinyuan tightened his grip on the girl's arm, his eyes dark and terrifying. Very good, she had brought out her passion again...

……

Lanyuan, this is Shen Ping's yard.

Jiang Li walked into the main entrance holding Li Jinyuan's arm. As the pearl hairpin on her bun swayed, it was obvious that the girl was in a very good mood.

But looking at the man beside her, his lips pursed lightly, the aura around him was so cold that it could freeze the ground three feet, and he was extremely unsatisfied...

Li Jinyuan turned his head to look at her. The little thing was really heartless.

There is a cute dimple on her fair and tender cheek, and her eyelashes are long and curled, like a row of small palm-leaf fans.

The man's pursed lips finally relaxed, even curling up. Forget it, why would he bother with a little idiot...

As the two approached, the maidservant beside Shen Ping stopped them.

Lancao is nearly forty years old. She has been following Shen Ping since she entered the mansion. She has been trained by that woman into a qualified loyal dog.

"Third Prince, Princess."

She saluted the two of them, and Li Jinyuan waved his hand casually and asked her to stand up.

"Go and announce that the prince and princess are here to take their leave."

"Yes!"

Lancao took a shuddering breath. The pressure emanating from the man was so terrifying that it made her unconsciously want to obey any of his orders.

Looking at the maid running so fast, Jiang Li couldn't help but sneer.

"what happened?"

Li Jinyuan leaned closer to her, his tall nose just a few millimeters away from the girl's snow-white cheek.

Jiang Li shrank her neck. The air he breathed out from her nostrils was too hot, burning her face red...

"Just a sigh... People are all snobs."

That Lancao, during the time when Shen Ping and Jiang Leyao bullied her, was their right-hand man, and every slap on her face was merciless...

Perhaps because she had done this too often, she even developed a sense of superiority over her. Not only would she not obey orders from the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she had never even greeted her.

If Li Jinyuan had not stood next to her today, this guy would probably still be so bold and presumptuous.

Li Jinyuan pinched Jiang Li's little face, which was pretending to be deep. Her cherry lips pouted, so pink and smooth that people couldn't help but want to eat her in one bite.

He knew who he was and he could tell what the girl meant at a glance.

The gloomy phoenix eyes fell on the old maid, without any warmth.

Before marrying Jiang Li, he had asked Yan Yu to thoroughly investigate her identity.

There are so many servants in the Jiang Mansion. Since Shen Ping can use power and money to shut them up, Li Jinyuan can naturally use these to pry open their mouths.

Looking at the news presented by Yan Yu, he was also stunned for a long time. Everyone in the capital knew that General Jiang was a fierce protector of his daughter, but who could have known that this newcomer and mistress of the house would dare to humiliate this girl behind her back...

The man did not tell Jiang Pingsheng the information he had found out, because at that time he had no ordinary human emotions, let alone sympathy for Jiang Li.

To him, this was a person's weakness, and what he loved most was to hold someone's tail in his hands...

As for Jiang Li, Li Jinyuan, who had come out of his memories, lowered his eyes to look at her. The little girl had a small face, but her eyes were round and big. In her watery eyes, there was no trace of the helplessness and sadness she had when she first entered the palace, only a determined look.

If Li Jinyuan had been indifferent and ignored Jiang Li a year ago, then at this moment, he actually had the urge to protect and possess her.

After all, such a well-behaved little fox definitely needs careful care from its owner...

He has plenty of ways to punish those who dare to hurt her or take her away...

……

"lady!"

Lancao lifted the bead curtain and knelt down in front of Shen Ping in a hurry.

The woman frowned, and a look of displeasure and anger emanated from her.

"What?! Were you chased by a dog?!"

The woman spoke in a high-pitched voice, and Jiang Leyao, who was sitting next to her, rolled her eyes at her in disgust.

"No... yes, it's the Third Prince and the Eldest Miss coming over!"

Lancao stuttered as she spoke, with fear in her eyes.

After all, the aura that Li Jinyuan had just exuded was truly terrifying. Recalling what he had done to the young lady before, she was truly terrified that this man would kill her...

"Third Prince...?"

What was he doing here, bringing Jiang Li with him? Could it be that this little bitch had complained to him?! So the prince was coming to settle accounts with them...!?
